THE WONDER WOMAN movie has been officially banned in one country after boycotts against its main star, Gal Gadot.

Politics has once more encroached up on the arts after the DC movie was banned from being shown across an entire country because of the nationality and alleged beliefs of its leading lady.

Earlier in May, Russia did not take part in the Eurovision Song Contest after this year's hosts, Ukraine, declared that the official Russian entrant, Yulia Samoylova, was on its list of banned performers who had "illegally" performed in the contested Crimea.

Now Lebanon has banned Wonder Woman from being shown in its cinemas over her Israeli nationality and military training.

A Facebook page set up by the Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon had targetted the movie over Gal Gadot's involvement.

One post yesterday said: "Playing a film Wonder Woman in which she is featured (as the main actress) is against the Lebanese law. In addition she supported the Israeli army during its attack on Gaza, served in the israeli army for two years (as israelis usually do), and boasted about the army training her for Hollywood."

Within 24 hours, a formal decision had been made by the government and was announced today.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Economy is responsible for the decision.

Its six members would have acted in accordance with a law which boycotts Israeli products and bars Lebanese citizens from traveling or having contact with Israelis.

However, Gadot's previous movies, including Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the fifth and sixth installments in the Fast and Furious franchise, were not previously banned in the country.
